The destination is where the photo is taken.
The story is in the journey.
Welcome to Stories Along the Way.
I’m glad you stopped by.
This is a place for stories gathered from trails, gardens, airports, kitchens, writing desks, and the ordinary moments in between. Some begin with a marathon, a hike, or a journey to another country. Others begin with something as simple as a conversation, a flower blooming, or a cup of tea.
I don’t write because I’ve figured life out. I write because paying attention has taught me that even ordinary moments often carry stories worth remembering.
So whether you’re here for a few minutes or decide to stay a little longer, I hope you’ll find something that makes you smile, pause, or see your own journey in a new light.

Saying Goodbye to My Big Girl
We had some big adventures together. She took me to different places and even provided me with accommodation wherever I went. She was my unofficial office, my little retreat, and sometimes the place where I could just sit and zone out when work became tough and crazy. Finally, I’m letting her go. Hopefully she’ll be…
